Late last week we received notice of the required by law "Community Meeting" that property developers must hold in order to receive approval for re-zoning petitions.
Normally when these meetings happen, a couple people show up exchange pleasantries and go home, as developers in Charlotte seldom see push back on even the most outrageous requests.
Then a few weeks later Charlotte City Council approves the request and everyone wonders why crime is out of control and traffic gridlock is everywhere.
This is your one chance to make a difference and let the City of Charlotte, the developer and the Gillespie Family know that destroying 54 acres of forest to build an apartment complex in an area that even the much debated 2040 plan designated as "Single Family" is a really bad idea.

This proposal is not only unacceptable but it’s unnecessary. The City of Charlotte is beautiful and with each new development we are carving away this beauty while devastating the wildlife populations that also benefit from our green spaces. Enough day-lighting has been allowed to occur in this small area over the past 10 years and it’s time to put a stop to it. This rezoning petition needs to be stopped for the good of all. Please - we know better from years of poor choices - now is the time to DO better.
The venue was specifically selected to discourage attendance. Parking will be tight if more than 100 people show up. But knowing covertitives they will not pull more than a dozen. as for the Eagles and the rest of the wildlife most of your neighbors don't know the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk fox or coyote. Prove me wrong!
